   1.                                                   We acknowledge your
response to prior comment 1 and your October 30, 2020 response
                                                        to comment 2 from our
September 10, 2020 letter. Please address the following:
                                                            Provide us a more
complete explanation as to why the required post-sale services you
                                                             identify are
immaterial in the context of the contract. In your response tell us why the
                                                             following factors
are not indicative that these services are material in the context of

              the contract:
                o  Your obligation to provide these services for apparent
periods of up to the over
                   20 years renewal terms of the underlying insurance policies
appears to be a
                   significant commitment; and
                o  The fact that renewal commissions are deferred and paid when
the underlying
                   policies are renewed instead of at policy issuance appears
to indicate that your
                   insurance company customers expect the continued performance
of these post-
                   sale services;
                Assuming that you can support that your post-sale services are
immaterial in the
              context of the contract, tell us why you believe that the
required services being
              completed after the performance of your single performance
obligation are
              administrative in nature comparable to the set-up activities
identified in ASC 606-10-
              25-17 when these activities appear to transfer a service to your
insurance company
              customers that they would have to perform for their policyholders
had they not
              contracted with you to perform them as an intermediary.
                Assuming that you can support that your post-sale services are
immaterial in the
              context of the contract and that these activities do indeed
transfer services to your
              customers, as previously requested, please:
                o  Tell us the amount of costs to provide these services that
should have been
                   accrued under ASC 606-10-25-16A at:
                        January 1, 2018 adoption of ASC 606;
                        December 31, 2018;
                        December 31, 2019; and
                        now September 30, 2020; and
                o  Provide us your analysis under SAB 99 as to whether this
under accrual is
                   material.

2.       We acknowledge your response to prior comment 2 and your October 30,
2020 response
         to comment 3 from our September 10, 2020 letter. In order to help us
assess why your
         variable consideration for trailing commissions estimated using the
expected value
         method is fully constrained until the actual renewals occur, please
address the following
         additional items:
             Provide us additional insight into why the fact that renewals are
outside your control
              and the broad range of possible outcomes fully limits your
ability to make estimates
              of variable consideration given the law of large numbers and that
it seems that you
              have significant policy activity. In your response, tell us the
significance of the
              difference between renewal commissions, renewal compensation and
renewal
              performance bonuses in making your estimate.
             Help us understand how you apply the expected value method in
estimating renewal
              rates and the amount of trailing commission variable
consideration to which you
              expect to be entitled. In your response tell us how you group the
various insurance
              products to make your estimate and explain how you assess each
product type for
              each insurance company customer.
             For each product grouping in the preceding bullet, tell us how
long you have been

              collecting renewal information.
                Tell us whether you currently collect renewal commissions for
policies issued prior to
              2013 and from 2013 to 2016. If so, explain to us why you fully
constrain this estimate
              given the amount of renewal history you have under these
policies.
                Tell us why you apparently cannot make a reasonable estimate of
trailing
              commissions variable consideration at least in the near term
when, for example, you
              disclosed in your second quarter of 2020 earnings call a 92%
30-month persistency
              ratio and that the 25-month renewal rate exceeded 87%.
                For each of the product groupings identified in the fourth
preceding bullet, tell us the
              amount of trailing commission variable consideration expected
under your
              application of the expected value method for the next succeeding
year as of January
              1, 2018 (adoption of ASC 606), December 31, 2018 and December 31,
2019 and the
              amount of actual renewal commissions received in that succeeding
year. For example
              and for clarification purposes, tell us the amount of renewal
commissions you
              expected to receive under the expected value method for 2018 in
your January 1,
              2018 assessment as well as the amount of actual renewal premiums
received in 2018.
