Revenue Recognition Policy	Revenue Recognition Policy The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Update No. 605-15, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“FASB ASC 605-15”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenues can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s revenues are generated by selling: (1) subscription-based, real-time decision and solution information; (2) professional services; and (3) annual maintenance contracts for PASSUR® Radar Systems. Revenues generated from subscription and maintenance agreements are recognized over the term of such executed agreements and/or customer’s receipt of such data or services. In accordance with FASB ASC 605-15, we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists which is evidenced by a signed agreement, the service has been deployed, as applicable, to its hosted servers, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company records revenues pursuant to individual contracts on a month-by-month basis, as outlined by the applicable agreement. In many cases, the Company may invoice respective customers in advance of the specified period, either quarterly or annually, which coincides with the terms of the agreement. In such cases, the Company will defer at the close of each month and/or reporting period any subscription or maintenance revenues invoiced for which services have yet to be rendered, in accordance with FASB ASC 605-15. Revenues generated by professional services are recognized over the term of such executed agreements. The individual offerings that are included in arrangements with our customers are identified and priced separately to the customer based upon the stand alone price for each individual element sold in the arrangement irrespective of the combination of products and services which are included in a particular arrangement. As such, the units of accounting are based on each individual element sold, and revenue is allocated to each element based on selling price. Selling price is determined using vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") if available, third-party evidence ("TPE") if VSOE is not available, or best estimate of selling price ("BESP") if neither VSOE or TPE is available. BESP must be determined in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the specific elements on a standalone basis. Our best estimate of selling price is established considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, pricing practices with different classes of customers, geographies and other factors contemplated in negotiating the arrangement with the customer. From time to time, the Company will enter into an agreement with a customer to receive a one-time fee for rights including, but not limited to, the rights to use certain data at an agreed upon location(s) for a specific use and/or for an unlimited number of users. These fees are recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the agreement or expected useful life of such arrangement, whichever is longer, but typically five years.

Revenue Recognition Policy

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Update No. 605-15, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“FASB ASC 605-15”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenues can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company’s revenues are generated by selling: (1) subscription-based, real-time decision and solution information; (2) professional services; and (3) annual maintenance contracts for PASSUR® Radar Systems.

Revenues generated from subscription and maintenance agreements are recognized over the term of such executed agreements and/or customer’s receipt of such data or services. In accordance with FASB ASC 605-15, we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists which is evidenced by a signed agreement, the service has been deployed, as applicable, to its hosted servers, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company records revenues pursuant to individual contracts on a month-by-month basis, as outlined by the applicable agreement. In many cases, the Company may invoice respective customers in advance of the specified period, either quarterly or annually, which coincides with the terms of the agreement. In such cases, the Company will defer at the close of each month and/or reporting period any subscription or maintenance revenues invoiced for which services have yet to be rendered, in accordance with FASB ASC 605-15. Revenues generated by professional services are recognized over the term of such executed agreements.

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for revenue recognition. If the entity has different policies for different types of revenue transactions, the policy for each material type of transaction is generally disclosed. If a sales transaction has multiple element arrangements (for example, delivery of multiple products, services or the rights to use assets) the disclosure may indicate the accounting policy for each unit of accounting as well as how units of accounting are determined and valued. The disclosure may encompass important judgment as to appropriateness of principles related to recognition of revenue. The disclosure also may indicate the entity's treatment of any unearned or deferred revenue that arises from the transaction.
