Revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the year was approximately $508,000. Revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the year was approximately $467,000. Total deferred revenue (contract liability) was approximately $970,000 and $443,000 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.  The contract liability is derived by an 18% carve-out on subscription orders which is based on industry standards and our current maintenance and support charge for perpetual licenses. Services revenue decreased $1,110,379 from year ended December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024 which was largely attributed to one customer with a 70% cost the services.  License fees increased $847,297 from year ended December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024 which a trend that we expect to continue.

 

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

 

ASC 606 requires that the Company disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied. The guidance provides certain practical expedients that limit this requirement, which the Company’s contracts meet as follows:

 

 

The performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less, in accordance with ASC 606-10-50-14.

 

Deferred revenue represents the Company’s remaining performance obligations related to prepaid support and maintenance, all of which is expected to be recognized from one to five years.

About Revenue Disclosures

Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.

Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
