   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and with the instructions to Form
10
-Q and Regulation S-
X,
and in the opinion of the Company’s management these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, necessary for the fair presentation. The operating results for the
three
and
nine
months ended
June 30, 2019
are
not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
September 30, 2019.
The accompanying
September 30, 2018
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does
not
include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form
10
-K for the year ended
September 30, 2018
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
December 28, 2018.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
In
May 2014,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No.
2014
-
09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic
606
(ASU
2014
-
09
or ASC
606
), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP, which became effective for the Company on
October 1, 2018.
The core principle of ASU
2014
-
09
is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU
2014
-
09
defines a
five
-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates
may
be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing U.S. GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. Under ASC
606,
revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a promised good or service and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for the good or service. In addition, ASC
606
also includes subtopic ASC 
340
-
40,
 
Other Assets and Deferred Costs- Contracts with Customers
, referred to herein as ASC
340
-
40,
which provides guidance on accounting for certain revenue related costs including costs associated with obtaining and fulfilling a contract, discussed further below.
 
The Company adopted the new revenue guidance using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were
not
completed as of
October 1, 2018.
Results for reporting periods beginning after
September 30, 2018
are presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts are
not
adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic revenue guidance.  The Company applied the new standard using practical expedients where:
 
 
the measurement of the transaction price excludes all taxes assessed by governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer;
 
the new revenue guidance has been applied to portfolios of contracts with similar characteristics;
 
the modified retrospective approach has been applied only to contracts that are
not
completed contracts at the date of initial adoption; and
 
the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of
one
year or less has
not
been disclosed.
 
Revenue recognition from the Company’s primary revenue streams remained substantially unchanged following adoption of ASC
606
and therefore did
not
have a material impact on its revenues. The impact of applying the new guidance in fiscal
2019
versus the prior guidance resulted in a change to the period over which sales commissions are amortized to incorporate an estimated customer life. This resulted in a longer amortization period for deferred commission expense, which reduces expense compared to the application of the prior guidance.  
 
Upon adoption, Other current assets increased by
$59
due to the capitalization of the current portion of sales commissions and Other assets increased by
$27
due to the capitalization of the noncurrent portion of sales commissions. Retained earnings decreased by
$86
as a net result of these adjustments. The comparative information has
not
been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
 
The following tables summarize the impact of adopting ASC
606
on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements during the
nine
months ended and as of
June 30, 2019:

The Company derives its revenue from
three
sources: (i) Software Licenses, which are comprised of subscription fees ("SaaS"), perpetual software licenses, and maintenance for post-customer support (“PCS”) on perpetual licenses, (ii) Digital Engagement Services, which are professional services to implement our products such as web development, digital strategy, information architecture and usability engineering and (iii) hosting of perpetual licenses. Customers who license the software on a subscription basis, which can be described as “Software as a Service” or “SaaS” and do
not
take possession of the software.  
 
Revenue is recognized when control of these services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, for example, overage fees, contingent fees or service level penalties, the Company includes an estimate of the amount it expects to receive for the total transaction price if it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will
not
occur. The Company’s subscription service arrangements are non-cancelable and do
not
contain refund-type provisions. Revenue is reported net of applicable sales and use tax.
 
The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers using a
five
-step model, which is described below:
 
 
Identify the customer contract;
 
Identify performance obligations that are distinct;
 
Determine the transaction price;
 
Allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations; and
 
Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.
 
Identify the customer contract
 
A customer contract is generally identified when there is approval and commitment from both the Company and its customer, the rights have been identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability and consideration is probable.
 
Identify performance obligations that are distinct
 
A performance obligation is a promise to provide a distinct good or service or a series of distinct goods or services.  A good or service that is promised to a customer is distinct if the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and a company’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.  
 
Determine the transaction price
 
The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding sales taxes that are collected on behalf of government agencies.  
 
Allocate the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations
 
The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of the goods or services being provided to the customer.  The Company determines the SSP of its goods and services based upon the historical average sales prices for each type of software license and professional services sold.  
 
 
Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied
 
Revenues are recognized when or as control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers.  Revenue from SaaS licenses is recognized ratably over the subscription period beginning on the date the license is made available to customers. Most subscription contracts are
three
-year terms. Customers who license the software on a perpetual basis receive rights to use the software for an indefinite time period and an option to purchase post-customer support (“PCS”). PCS revenue is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the period of performance and the perpetual license is recognized upon delivery.  The Company also offers hosting services for those customers who purchase a perpetual license and do
not
want to run the software in their environment. Revenue from hosting is recognized ratably over the service period, ranging from
one
to
three
-year terms. The Company recognizes revenue from professional services as the services are provided.
 
Disaggregation of Revenue
 
The Company provides disaggregation of revenue based on geography and product groupings within the notes (Note
13
) as it believes this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
 
Deferred Revenue
 
Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and deferred revenue or revenue, depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Deferred revenue represents amounts billed for which revenue has
not
yet been recognized. Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding
12
-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue, and the remaining portion is recorded as noncurrent deferred revenue included in Other long-term liabilities. Deferred revenue during the
nine
months ended
June 30, 2019
increased by
$1.2
million.  As of
June 30, 2019,
approximately
$13
of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for contracts with original performance obligations that exceed
one
year.  The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately
99%
of these remaining performance obligations over the next
12
 months, with the balance recognized thereafter.

Deferred
Capitalized
Commission
Costs
 
The incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which primarily consist of sales commissions paid for new subscription contracts are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of approximately
three
years.  The Company evaluated both qualitative and quantitative factors, including the estimated life cycles of its offerings, renewal rates, and its customer attrition to determine the amortization periods for the capitalized costs. The initial amortization period will generally be the customer contract term, which is typically
thirty-six
(
36
) months, with some exceptions. Deferred capitalized commission expense that will be recorded as expense during the succeeding
12
-month period is recorded as current deferred capitalized commission costs, and the remaining portion is recorded as long-term deferred capitalized commission costs. Total deferred capitalized commissions were
$66
as of the quarter ended
June 30, 2019
compared to
$77
as of the year ended
September 30, 2018.
Current deferred capitalized commission costs are included in Other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and noncurrent deferred capitalized commission costs are included in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amortization expense for the
three
and
nine
months ended
June 30, 2019
was
$19
and
$53,
respectively.
 
Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption
 
Leases

In
August 2018,
the FASB issued ASU
2018
-
15,
which addresses a customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. Under the new guidance, customers will apply the same criteria for capitalizing implementation costs as they would for an arrangement that has a software license. ASU
2018
-

Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic
326
)
, which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2019,
including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
All other Accounting Standards Updates issued but
not
yet effective are
not
expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future financial statements.
