NOTE 3- REVENUE RECOGNITION

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments are intended to render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606.

Maintenance support services are initially classified as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the service period of the arrangement which is normally one year.

Revenue from cloud services is recognized over time (typically, on a monthly basis) as service is provided.

Payments received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized to revenue when earned. During the six month period ended April 30, 2025, $108,047 of sales was classified as deferred revenue and $198,515 of deferred revenue was reported as revenue.
