Revenue recognition (ASC 606)

368 staff comments in this corpus, to 190 registrants, across 7 of the 7 calendar quarters this corpus covers.

Coverage is partial and not continuous. This corpus holds CORRESP filings from 2023Q1–2024Q2 (82–96% of each quarter's EDGAR total); 2025Q4 (16% of the 861 CORRESP filings EDGAR indexed that quarter). It holds nothing at all from 2024Q3, 2024Q4, 2025Q1, 2025Q2 or 2025Q3, and nothing filed after 2025-12-31. If an issue page shows no comment from one of those periods, the reason is that edgarwiki has no data for it — not that the staff raised nothing. Counts on this site are counts within this corpus and are not SEC-wide totals. Every quotation is verbatim and links to its filing; what is incomplete is coverage, not accuracy.

17. We note that you recognize game publishing revenue at a point in time when control of the console game code is transferred to end users after they have downloaded it from third parties' gaming platforms. Please explain further the terms of these arrangement and the impact on the timing of revenue recognition. Also clarify whether the third-party platforms maintain the console game codes before they are delivered to the end users. In addition, you state that for these transactions, "the transfer of control typically occurs at a specific point in time, mainly considering when the gaming platform becomes obligated to pay for the console game code sold, based on the preceding month’s sales report." Please explain why the transfer of control in these arrangements is based on the preceding month's sales report.
The company responded
The Company acknowledges the staff’s comment and revised the game publishing revenue recognition disclosure as follows: The Company generates its revenue from game publishing by publishing gaming software on the third-party gaming platforms such as Sony's PlayStation Network and Valve's Steam (“Gaming Platform”). In this sales arrangement, the Gaming Platforms are considered as the Company's customers. The Company recognizes revenue from game publishing at the point in time when control of the gaming software is transferred to the Gaming Platform, which specifically occurs when the console game code has been activated. Since the transaction price varies and is determined based on a predetermined rate applied to the Gaming Platform’s monthly sales, the Company recognizes revenue based on the consideration expected to be received from the Gaming Platform.

Please tell us whether you generate game publishing revenue through other third-party platforms. As applicable, clarify whether the revenue recognition policy differs for any other third-party platforms and if so, how.
The company responded
The Company acknowledges the staff’s comment and confirms that the Company only generates game publishing revenue through Microsoft’s Xbox, Sony's Playstation Network and Valve's Steam platform, and does not participate in any other third-party platforms for game publishing.

19. We note your discussion on page 162 of publishing agreements that contain minimum guaranteed royalty payment and/or minimum guaranteed development fees based on the number of units of the game sold, marketing budget, localization, reporting process, revenue sharing and payment terms. Please explain further the terms of these arrangements and the impact on your game publishing revenue recognition policy. Ensure you address any revenue sharing terms with the publishers and the related accounting.
The company responded
The Company respectfully acknowledges the staff’s comment. The Company respectfully advises the staff that the publishing agreements mentioned above are with the third party game developers and provides the following explanation: The agreement with the Company’s existing developer only includes terms such as minimum sales guarantees and development fees, marketing budgets and localization. Disclosure on page 162 has been revised accordingly. The Company provides further explanation to the foregoing terms as follows: Minimum sales guarantee Pursuant to the agreement with the developer, the Company is obligated to pay several tranches of non-refundable minimum sales guarantee to the developer upon achievement of various milestones before the game is published on the gaming platform. Consequently, the Company records the minimum sales guarantee payment remitted to the developer as prepaid…

3. Please revise in future filings the table to segregate revenue recognized under ASC 606 from that recognized under ASC 842. In this regard, we note that the footnote table is describe as “Revenues from contracts with customers”. We refer you to ASC 606-10-50- 4(a). In addition, the contract balances should be separately disclosed from lease assets. We refer you to ASC 606- 10-50-8.
The company responded
We respectfully acknowledge the Staff’s comment and advise the Staff that we will remove leasing revenue from the “Revenues from contracts with customers” table in our subsequent periodic filings, in accordance with ASC 606-10-50- 4(a). In addition, we advise the Staff that we will remove leasing balances from the “Contract Balances” table in subsequent periodic filings, in accordance with ASC 606-10-50-8. For the Staff’s reference, updated disclosure marked to show changes against the disclosure on page 70 of the Form 10-K is attached hereto as Exhibit A as an example, for illustrative purposes only, of how the Company intends to revise its disclosures in our subsequent periodic filings beginning with the Company’s Form 10-Q for the second quarter ending on June 30, 2024.

2. We note you disclose contract assets consist of costs in excess of billings and are presented in accounts receivable. Please clarify the nature of the performance obligations that costs in excess of billings relate to and explain if and how you determined your right to this consideration is unconditional. If your right to this consideration is conditioned on something other than the passage of time, please revise your balance sheet presentation of these amounts in future filings or explain how you determined your current presentation complies with ASC 606-10-45-1 and 45-4.
The company responded
The performance obligations that costs in excess of billings relate to are the Company’s obligations to construct an asset that the customer controls as it is being created or enhanced, or a promise to provide a product that has no alternative use to the Company and for which the Company has enforceable rights to payment. United States Securities and Exchange Commission June 24, 2024 Page 3 In preparing the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and notes to the consolidated financial statements, we considered ASC 606-10-45-1 and 45-4 and determined that the related right to this consideration is conditioned on something other than the passage of time.

7. Please revise future filings to provide relevant information related to the introductory offer period. If material, please revise to clarify the impact of introductory offer periods on revenue recognition in your accounting policy disclosure. Please provide us your proposed disclosure.
The company responded
We have two types of introductory offers that we offer to customers. One is a “send no money” where the customer completes an application form; when the application is approved and the first month’s premium is received, the policy is in effect. The second introductory offer is up to one month of coverage for a reduced premium of $1. We record revenue at the time the premium is due, and the policy is issued in both types of introductory offers. The impact of the introductory offer period is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. We propose to include the following disclosure within MD&A in our next Form 10-Q filing: Net sales are calculated as annualized premium issued, net of cancellations in the first thirty days after issue, except in the case of Direct to Consumer, where net sales is annualized premium issued at the time the first full premium is paid after…

As “would be” is future tense, please tell us whether you currently (as of both December 31, 2023 and the date of your response) consider all of your users to be customers under the definition in ASC 606-10-20. If so, provide us your analysis supporting your claim. In your response, specifically identify for us each new product and feature that did not exist at the time of your initial public offering indicated in your response to prior comment 4 and explain how they result in all users being customers under GAAP.
The company responded
10 This change did not impact (i) the Company’s accounting for the Robinhood Referral Program, which the Company determined provides it with a distinct service from users, and (ii) the accounting for fraud reimbursement payments under ASC 460, Guarantees , as explained below. 10 The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the analysis as to when the determination that all users met the definition of a customer is provided above. The analysis focuses on new product and features that required analysis under ASC 606 and is not inclusive of all new products and features the Company has introduced during the period as not all new product and features required analysis under ASC 606 (e.g., recurring crypto investments launched in September 2021 did not require analysis under ASC 606).

8. Based on the disclosure in Note 16, it appears that only $1.4 million of your $29.4 million December 31, 2022 “Advances from Customers -- related parties” balance was recognized as revenue in 2023. Please expand your revenue recognition policy disclosure to fully describe the transactions included in this liability account and the relevant material rights and obligations of the Company and of the Customer. Explain why only a minimal amount was recognized as revenue.
The company responded
SBC advises that the balance of advances from customers - related parties primarily included 1) the cash received in an amount equivalent to the awarded loyalty points that have not been redeemed by MCs' customers, which would be returned to MCs upon the redemption of the loyalty points or recognized as SBC's revenue when the points are expired, which has not been significant historically; and 2) MCs' overpayment for procurement services revenue when SBC received discounts on certain large purchases, which would be returned to MCs at a later time. Based on historical data, the majority of the balance of advances from customers - related parties represented cash that would be returned to MCs subsequently, instead of deferred revenue, therefore, the amount being recognized as revenues is much smaller than the total balance. Changes in response to the Staff’s comment have been reflected in…

1. We note your statement on page F-8 that "Cumulus Media is the only audio media company to provide marketers with local and national advertising performance guarantees." Please expand you revenue recognition disclosure to discuss how you account for advertising performance guarantees. Specifically discuss if revenue recognition is deferred until the performance guarantees are met.
The company responded
We acknowledge the Staff's comment and respectfully advise the Staff that the Company recognized revenue of $183,000 and $683,000 during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to one contract with an advertising performance guarantee. The guarantee provided the customer with a specified level of sales attainment per advertising dollar spent as reported by the customer. For this contract, we recognized revenue over time as the performance guarantee was achieved. Given that amounts were not material to either year (as they represented 0.02% of 2023 net revenue and 0.07% of 2022 net revenue), we did not specifically disclose the Company’s revenue recognition policy for this contract within our financial statement footnotes. In future filings, we will remove the reference to “advertising performance guarantees” in our financial statement footnotes if the…

2. We note your disclosure on page 109 that you restated the Lifecore segment revenues and cost of sales in FY2022 and FY2021 to gross up revenues and cost of sales for certain performance obligations for which the Company acted as a principal in the arrangements. Please tell us your considerations of disclosing revenue recognition policies related to revenues recognized gross as a principal or net as an agent and the related disaggregated revenues. 6
The company responded
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and confirms that the Company acted as principal in all its arrangements for the periods presented. In connection with the restatement of the Company’s prior financial statements, the Company identified certain elements of its agreements with customers for development services that were recorded as if the Company was operating as an agent and thus was recorded on a net basis, which was corrected as part of the restatement of those prior periods reflected in the Filing. In future filings, the Company will expand its revenue recognition policy disclosures to state that the Company is the principal in its contracts and recognizes revenues on a gross basis, or, as may be relevant, net as an agent and the related disaggregated revenues, if any.

2. We note your response to comment 3 and your statement that you consider warranty and services revenues to be immaterial for disclosure under ASC 606-10-50-5 and ASC 280-10-50-40. Please quantify for us the impact of warranty and service revenues on your gross profit and gross profit percentage at both the consolidated level and the Connected Fitness Products segment level. To the extent that warranty revenues materially impact any gross profit measures, ensure you appropriately discuss the impacts within MD&A and expand on why quantification of such revenues is not necessary under the preceding guidance.
The company responded
We acknowledge the Staff’s comment and note that extended warranty and service revenues as a percentage of Connected Fitness Products gross profit 1 are approximately (26)%, (16)%, and 2% and extended warranty and service revenues as a percentage of total gross profit are approximately 6%, 6%, and 1%, in each case for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. We also note that the impact of removing extended warranty and services revenues from our gross profit would result in a decrease of approximately 6%, 2%, and less than 1% in our Connected Fitness Products gross profit percentage and a decrease of 1%, 1%, and less than 1% in our total gross profit percentage for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Comment 4: Please evaluate the Fund’s accounting policy for revenue recognition of non-accrual income as stated in the Notes to Financial Statements for full compliance with US GAAP. The staff notes that references to accounting treatment options, which are dependent upon management’s judgment, may not fully conform with US GAAP. Please refer to the AICPA’s Investment Companies–Audit and Accounting Guide Sections 2.129 and 2.131.
The company responded
As indicated in the referenced AICPA guidance, the Fund believes there is inherent judgement regarding collectability of interest and principal that is required to appropriately apply the accounting principles for revenue recognition of non-accrual income. Judgement is required in both (a) Section 2.129 to determine the certainty of whether the cost basis can be recovered through sale or redemption and (b) Section 2.131 to determine the probability of whether interest will be collected and can reasonably estimate the amount of uncollectible interest. Furthermore, the Fund believes it is important for the readers of the financial statements to understand that management’s judgement is used in applying these accounting principles. The Fund will also clarify the language of its accounting policy to specifically reference treatment of interest received on non-accrual investments to more…

In this regard, both ASC 326-20-50-11 and 50-13 require disclosure by portfolio segment, which is “the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine its allowance for credit losses.” We note your customers include large municipalities which might not share risk characteristics with other types of customers when measuring credit losses. Refer to ASC 326-20-15-2(a)(3) regarding the scope of the Subtopic and ASC 326-20-30-2 and 55-5 for further guidance. Also refer to ASC 606-10-32-14 and ASC 606-10-32-42 through 32-45 for changes in the transaction price that impact revenue but are not recorded as credit losses. Please provide us any revised disclosure for future filings.
The company responded
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises the Staff that it determined the allowance for credit loss balance by considering ASC 326 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC 326”). The Company adopted ASC 326, which requires accounts receivable to be carried at their carrying amount less an allowance for credit loss. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses resulting from the potential inability of its customers to make required payments based on contractual terms. The Company reviews the collectability of its receivables on a regular and ongoing basis. In accordance with ASC 326-20-30-2 and 55-5, in order to assess collectability, the Company reviews accounts receivable on a collective basis for customers that share similar risk characteristics and on an individual basis for those customers that do not share similar risk characteristics.

Please tell us what consideration was given to separately presenting net sales and cost of sales from products and from services. As part of your response, please provide us with such information for the periods presented. Refer to Article 5-03(b)(1) and (2) of Regulation S-X.

We respectfully acknowledge the Staff’s comment, but we have determined that the Company’s current aggregate revenue presentation is appropriate based on the guidance set forth in Rule 5-03(b) of Regulation S-X. Service revenue comprised less than 10% of the Company’s revenues in the fiscal years ended October 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021. As such, in accordance with Rule 5-03(b), service revenue and any related cost of sales have not been presented separately on the Company’s statements of operations. To the extent the percentage of our service revenue exceeds 10% of total revenue, we will modify the presentation.

We respectfully acknowledge the Staff’s comment and, based on the ASC 606 disclosure requirements, we believe that the Company’s disclosure of its revenue recognition policy is appropriate. As part of satisfying ASC 805 Business Combinations disclosure requirements, we disclosed that Generate Life Sciences (“Generate”) revenues for the period from the acquisition date to October 31, 2022, were $249.5 million, which accounted for 8% of the Company’s total consolidated revenue in fiscal year 2022. Also, as disclosed in our response to Comment #2 above, service revenue accounted for less than 10% of our total consolidated revenue in fiscal year 2023. Taking into account the magnitude of revenue and the deferred revenue balance, we previously included disclosures related to the majority of the deferred revenue balance in the 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 which explained…

2. VBC contracts moving into maturity – Most of our VBC contracts were still in their first or second plan years in 2021 and 2022, and our two largest VBC plans just reached final reconciliation of their first plan year in 2023. Most interpretive or measurement questions under these complex and custom arrangements are resolved between the parties within the first two plan years. As a result, the Company now has significantly more confidence in its alignment with counterparties on interpretations concerning measurements required under these contracts. This, in turn, provides us higher confidence in our own estimates of expected shared savings achieved for the plan year made before completion of final reconciliation. 3.

In future filings we will revise the header from “Critical Accounting Policies” to “Critical Accounting Estimates,” and in the annual reports we will include a subheading for property and equipment. In the quarterly reports, we simply cross-reference the applicable disclosure in the notes to the financial statements and expect to continue that process going forward.

14. We note your response to comments 9 and 10. Please address the following: • You assert that the mining pool agreement renews daily as long as neither party elects to terminate it, and you do not believe the duration is less than 24 hours. The guidance in ASC 606-10-25-3 indicates that the duration of the contract is the period in which the parties have present enforceable rights and obligations considering termination and renewal rights. Tell us your consideration of the interpretation in the FASB Revenue Recognition Implementation Q&A question 8 and whether a contract that can be terminated at any time without penalty would result in a contract that is continuously renewed throughout the day and therefore results in many contracts with durations less than 24 hours. If true, revise future filings to specifically disclose that, "the contract duration is less than 24 hours and is…

The answers to each sub-question of this comment are: · While the mining pool contract may be terminated at any time during a day, that would not change the fact that the mining pool operator would still only calculate the Company’s share of rewards over the course of the entire day. Its rewards would not be determined at termination, but at midnight UTC on the date of termination, and paid in its normal course several hours later by a transfer to the Company’s wallet account based on the computing power contributed by the Company over the entire 24 hour day, even though the Company may have disconnected its machines from the mining pool mid-day when it elected to terminate the agreement. Furthermore, treating the contract as being a series of one second agreements throughout the day, with separate pricing for each one second contract based on the price of bitcoin for that split second,…

3. Revenue, page 81 3. Please address the following comments related to your revenue recognition policies and disclosures: ● We note your disclosure on page 82 that you offer customers the option to purchase third-party extended warranty and service contracts that are recognized on a gross basis over the extended warranty coverage period. Please tell us how you considered the guidance in ASC 606, including ASC 606-10-55-36 through -40, in determining that the revenues should be recognized on a gross basis over time as opposed to on a net basis at the time the contracts are sold. In doing so, describe to us the pertinent terms of and parties involved with these extended warranties, including the nature of any third-party insurance companies, underwriters and/or administrative firms.
The company responded
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and notes that, in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-36, the Company recognizes extended warranty revenue on a gross basis over time (rather than 6 on a net basis at the time the contracts are sold), as the nature of its promise is a performance obligation to provide extended warranty and claims services to the end customer over the service period. When a customer purchases extended warranty or service coverage (“service contracts”) on the Company’s website, it accepts the terms and conditions of the service contract between the customer, a service contract obligor, and the Company as the administrator and seller. Under these arrangements, the Company is considered the primary obligor. The Company sets the price and collects payment from the customer on the sale of the service contract and remits a fee to the service contract obligor on that…

12. The ARR from “additional usage” is immaterial as it is less than 1/10th of 1% of total ARR. In future filings, the Company will remove reference to “additional usage,” if it continues to remain immaterial, and will disclose a revised definition of ARR as detailed in the response below. · Revise your discussion of ARR to describe further how ARR differs from GAAP revenue and specifically address the timing of revenue recognition related to the license performance obligation, if applicable.
The company responded
Please see the discussion above and note the Company’s revised definition of ARR is as follows (bold text represents new language, strikethrough represents deleted language): Annual ized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) We are providing an disclose ARR as a performance metric to help investors better understand and assess the performance of our business because our mix of revenue generated from recurring sources currently represents the substantial majority of our revenues and is expected to continue in the future has increased in recent years .

3. Uniform Review Process: The performance of all entities and subsidiaries is reviewed as a whole by our CODM, without discrete financial segments being evaluated separately. This holistic review process is indicative of a unified operational strategy rather than segmented business units. 4. Consistent with Industry Peers: Our operational structure and the rationale for considering it as a single segment are consistent with practices observed in peers within the fintech space, including major players such as Affirm Holdings, Inc and PayPal Holdings, Inc. These companies have integrated operations that are managed and reported as a single segment. 5. ASC 280 Compliance: According to ASC 280-10-50-1 through 50-9, an operating segment is a component of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by our CODM.

With respect to the first bullet point above, our valuation business revenue is included in our consulting revenue and our game website revenue is reported separately. Specifically, our game website revenue amounted to $1,192 in fiscal 2023 and $1,155 in fiscal 2022. It is not a material component of our operations, and we described it as other revenue when breaking out the components of revenue on page 32 of Form 10-K. It was not significant enough to disclose on page 6 of Form 10-K, where we discussed the components of our business. We mentioned the game website because it is a subscription-based business that requires users to pay in advance. Consequently, on each balance sheet, there has been deferred revenue from the game website, which amounted to $661 as on April 30, 2023. We consider the valuation business a consulting activity and we include its revenues with consulting…

5. You state on page 51 that revenue is from laboratory services. Please revise the note to disclose your revenue recognition for the laboratory services. Also, please tell us the nature of any revenue recognized from license agreements and why recognition over the period you are entitled to the respective payments is consistent with ASC 606.
The company responded
The description of our revenue on page 51 should have been more descriptive as in actuality the revenue was a short-term agreement with another pharmaceutical company to utilize some of our laboratory space, equipment, and assistance from some of our personnel on development and testing of their product. The effort took longer than originally anticipated, however, shortly after our year end (August 31, 2023), the project was completed, and we do not expect to see any further revenue until our product launches. There was no revenue generated from license agreements, or other “sales” related activity. This was a one-off opportunity to help another company and cover some of our overhead costs as well. If such an opportunity develops in the future, we will provide a more detailed description of the revenue generated as per ASC 606. Going forward, we, as management will provide as much…

5. We note your disclosure on page 13 of your Risk Factor section, that in relation to your fixed-price contracts, you evaluate changes in estimates on a contract-by-contract basis and disclose significant changes, if material, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The cumulative catch-up method is used to account for revisions in estimates. In light of the fact that revenue recognized over time is about half of your consolidated revenue, please revise your notes to the financial statements to disclose this information in accordance with ASC 606-10-50-17. Additionally, please revise your results of operations disclosure in MD&A to separately quantify gross favorable and gross unfavorable changes in estimates material to either consolidated or segment results, accompanied by an appropriate level of analysis. Please provide us with your intended revised disclosure.
The company responded
In light of Staff comments, in addition to the disclosure that the estimate changes were immaterial to the periods presented, we have determined we will enhance our disclosures in future filings, beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending April 27, 2024, to further comply with the requirements of ASC 606-10-50-17 relating to the disclosure of judgments and changes in estimates made in the application of ASC 606. In future filings, beginning with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2024, we will include a discussion in “Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the section entitled “Revenue recognition” to further describe the significant judgments used in the estimation process and add clarity to our accounting policy over estimate changes.

3. Revenue Recognition, page 67 3. We note you expect to recognize the majority of your remaining performance obligations over a period from two to 10 years. Please revise to breakdown this amount, either quantitatively or qualitatively, into smaller time bands that better indicate the timing of revenue recognition. Also, consider disclosing how much you expect to recognize in the next 12-months. Refer to ASC 606-10-50-13. Gogo
The company responded
The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment. In all future periodic filings, commencing with our Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2024, we will revise our disclosures to include a quantitative breakdown using smaller time bands, including how much the Company expects to recognize in the next 12 months for connectivity and entertainment service remaining performance obligations. For equipment revenue remaining performance obligations, which have an inherently shorter time band of three years, the Company will include additional qualitative information in these disclosures. The Company is unable to quantify the remaining performance obligations for equipment revenue using smaller time bands with reasonable accuracy as the timing of equipment revenue recognition is driven by the timing of customer orders which are inherently uncertain and out of the Company’s control.

The company responded
As noted above, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company initiated the Hain Reimagined Program, an initiative prompted by our then-new Chief Executive Officer. The primary objectives of this program are to optimize our portfolio, enhance underlying profitability, and bolster our agility in pursuing targeted growth initiatives. Additionally, the program aims to fortify brand building and other critical capabilities essential for sustained future growth. Historically, the Company operated within three broad product categories—namely, Growth, Fuel, and Simplify—and a strategic evaluation of this portfolio was a key component of the Hain Reimagined Program.

The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised its disclosure accordingly on pages 1, 47 and 61 of Amendment No. 1, as the Company does not feel the disaggregation of revenue based on the types of customers and/or geographic region to be useful information for investors. In the Company’s view, (i) this information is not material information that the Company uses to make operational decisions and (ii) the market for freeze dried candy is in such a nascent stage and the demand for the Company’s treats is too far beyond the Company’s manufacturing capacity, such that the types of customer to whom the Company sells and the geographic regions in which their products are sold have not solidified in a way where the Company believes the disaggregation of revenue would provide investors with information indicative of the Company’s direction.
