Please tell us the amount of revenue generated from the sale of products for each period presented. To the extent it exceeded 10 percent of total revenue, revise to separately present revenue and related costs of revenue from products and services.

5.We note in your response to prior comment 20 that the perpetual system licenses consist of costs incurred in developing your JARVISS digital platform. Since you provide customers access to this platform through hosting arrangements or service contracts, it would appear the guidance in ASC 350-40 applies in accounting for costs incurred to develop the platform software. Please tell us how you considered 350-40-25 in determining the stages of the project and whether costs were capitalized or expensed throughout. Further, tell us how ASC 350-40-35-4 through 35-6 was considered, which indicates that these costs shall be amortized over an estimated useful life, which often is relatively short, beginning when the software is ready for its intended use. As it appears, the software was ready for its intended use when launched in early 2022, revise your policy and accounting accordingly.

 

RESPONSE: The Company notes the Staff’s comment and has revised its disclosure in Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements accordingly.

 

Income Taxes, page F-14

 

6.We note your revised disclosure regarding unrecognized deferred assets and liabilities in response to prior comment 24. We also note in your disclosures that you explain deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. As previously requested, please revise your disclosures on page F-27 to include the components of net deferred tax liabilities and assets recognized as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, as well as the other required disclosures as specified in ASC 740-10-50-2 through 50-6. If you have not recognized deferred tax assets or liabilities explain to us why no such differences exist and revise your disclosures accordingly.

 

RESPONSE: The Company notes the Staff’s comment and has revised its disclosure in Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements accordingly. The deferred tax was assessed based on the local tax jurisdiction of each of the Company’s subsidiary and the amount was insignificant for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Therefore, there is no provision made in relation to unrecognized deferred tax assets and liabilities for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

Note – 6 Accounts Receivable, page F-21

 

7.We note your revise disclosure in response to prior comment 21. Please further revise to clarify, if true, that such amounts will be recognized as revenue in the time periods listed.

 

RESPONSE: The Company notes the Staff’s comment and has revised its disclosure in Note 6 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements accordingly.
