Note 2. Agency Agreement with Westcon Group

In January 2016, the Company entered into a sales agency agreement with Westcon Group, Inc. (“Westcon”), a global distributor of communications devices, to provide the phones purchased by customers. Under this agreement, the Company was an agent of Westcon and received a commission for its services, which primarily included referring phone sales to Westcon. Westcon provided phones directly to the Company’s customers instead of the Company purchasing phones from third-party vendors and reselling the phones to the Company’s customers. Commission revenues from the arrangement were recorded as the Company was the agent for these sales. The Company completed its transition of direct phone sales to Westcon during the three months ended June 30, 2016, which excluded carriers’ phone sales. The Company did not transition the carrier partners to the agency model as the billing relationships to these customers are through the carriers.

The Company’s sales of phones that are provided free or significantly discounted to customers were not part of the sales agency agreement with Westcon. The Company recognizes revenue and costs from these sales as the Company is the primary obligor and has latitude in determining pricing.

In December 2016, the Company terminated the Westcon sales agency agreement and entered into a reseller (direct sale) agreement with Westcon. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company switched from the agency model to the direct phone sales model whereby the Company will no longer serve as an agent for referring phone sales to Westcon and will no longer receive commissions for its services. Under the reseller agreement, the Company will purchase phones directly from Westcon for resale to its customers and will recognize revenues and costs for phone sales based on the following criteria:

 

The Company is the primary obligor in the arrangement and customer contracts for sales of phones are entered into with the Company;

 

The Company has latitude in determining pricing with customers;

 

The Company assumes the general inventory risk; and

 

The Company has collection risk for phones sold to customers.
