AUDIOEYE INC Revenue Disclosure

 

Revenue is recognized when delivery of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

We determine revenue recognition through the following five steps:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Certain Software as a Service (“SaaS”) invoices are prepared on an annual basis. Any funds received for services not provided yet are held in deferred revenue and are recorded as revenue when earned. Subscription revenue is recognized on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term of the arrangement beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue. Any funds received for services not provided yet are held in deferred revenue and are recorded as revenue when earned. We generate substantially all our revenue from subscription services, which are comprised of subscription fees from customer accounts on the Ally Platform.

At December 31, 2018, the Company had one customer representing 22% of the outstanding accounts receivable. At December 31, 2017, the Company had five customers representing 18%, 14%, 14%, 13% and 10% (an aggregate of approximately 69%) of the outstanding accounts receivable.

 

The most significant impact of the standard relates to capitalizing costs to acquire contracts, which have historically been expensed as incurred. As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s sales commission plans have included multiple payments, including initial payments in the period a customer contract is obtained and deferred payments over the life of the contract as future payments are collected from the customers. Under the standard, only the initial payment is subject to capitalization as the deferred payments require a substantive performance condition of the employee. These initial commission payments are now capitalized in the period a customer contract is obtained and payment is received; and will be amortized consistent with the transfer of the goods or services to the customer over the expected period of benefit. The expected period of benefit is the contract term, except when the commission payment is expected to provide economic benefit to the Company for a period longer than the contract term, such as for new customer or incremental sales where renewals are expected, and renewal commissions are not commensurate with initial commissions. Such commissions are amortized over the greater of contract term or technological obsolescence period when the underlying contracted products are technology-based, such as for the SaaS-based platforms, or the expected customer relationship period when the underlying contracted products are not technology-based, such as for patient experience survey products. Upon adoption of Topic 606, the Company reclassified $80,153 from equity previously expensed commissions to deferred costs effective January 1, 2018. See Note 6 below for a summary of activity in the deferred costs account during the year ended December 31, 2018.
