Revenue, page 9 2. You disclose on page 9 that the consideration specified in the contract excludes sales incentives. Please reconcile this with your disclosure on page 12 that the transaction price includes variable consideration, which would appear to include sales incentives. Also, revise your disclosure to specify the types of variable consideration as well as how you measure obligations for returns and refunds. Refer to ASC 606-10-50-20. 3. Please describe for us the nature of the professional services provided that modify the intellectual property such that they are not distinct from the software. Provide us with your analysis of the factors considered in determining that the services significantly modify or customize the software and are therefore accounted for as a single performance obligation. Refer to 606-10-25-21(b). 4. Please tell us whether customized software arrangements include customer acceptance provisions and how these provisions are considered when recognizing revenue. 5. Please tell us why the standalone selling price of software licences is typically estimated using the residual approach and how you met one of the criteria in ASC 606-10-32-34(c). To the extent you have determined the selling price for your software is highly variable; provide a comprehensive, quantitative discussion of such variability to support your conclusions. 6. We note that some professional service revenues are recognized ratably and some using input measures, typically costs incurred. However, you also disclose on page 12 that you use the "as invoiced" practical expedient for performance obligations satisfied over time. Please revise to clarify which performance obligations are recognized using the "as invoiced" practical expedient. General 7. On your website you list Sudan as a country where you have banking partners and you identify Tanglewood Investments Ltd. and ISTINARA MATC as your business partners in that country.

Please describe to us the nature and extent of your past, current and anticipated contacts with Sudan, including contacts with its government, whether through subsidiaries, business partners or other direct or indirect arrangements. Also discuss the materiality of those contacts, in quantitative terms and in terms of qualitative factors that a reasonable investor would deem important in making an investment decision.
