NOTE 5 – REVENUE



Contract Balances



Our deferred revenue totaled $56.9 million at November 30, 2019 and $65.8 million at August 31, 2019, of which $4.2 million and $3.6 million were classified as components of other long-term liabilities at November 30, 2019, and August 31, 2019, respectively.  The amount of deferred revenue that was generated from subscription offerings totaled $48.7 million at November 30, 2019 and $58.2 million at August 31, 2019.  During the quarter ended November 30, 2019, we recognized $21.1 million of previously deferred subscription revenue.



Remaining Performance Obligations



When possible, we enter into multi-year non-cancellable contracts which are invoiced either upon execution of the contract or at the beginning of each annual contract period.  ASC Topic 606 introduced the concept of remaining transaction price which represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, including unearned revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods.  Transaction price is influenced by factors such as seasonality, the average length of the contract term, and the ability of the Company to continue to enter multi-year non-cancellable contracts.  At November 30, 2019, we had $82.7 million of remaining performance obligations, including the amount of deferred revenue related to our subscription offerings, of which approximately 75 percent will be recognized over the next 12 months.  The remaining performance obligation does not include other deferred revenue, as amounts included in other deferred revenue include items such as deposits that are generally refundable at the client’s request prior to the satisfaction of the obligation.
