These comments followed the Company’s September 13, 2013 response to the Staff’s comments issued in a letter dated September 5, 2013 (“Comment Letter”). This letter supplements the Company’s September 13, 2013 response.

Revenue Recognition, page 85

 

 

2.

Please clarify the attribution period used by the Company for recognizing revenues related to upfront service fees. Consider footnote 39 from SAB Topic 13A3f. Further discuss how revenue is recognized for recurring service elements including how the fees are contractually priced and whether the recurring service elements are transaction-based or based on fixed pricing. Address the stand-alone value of each recurring service element and discuss whether or not the Company combines service elements due to transaction-based pricing for its services.

Response: In response to the Staff’s further comment, the Company will clarify in future filings that its accounting policy for the E-Commerce and Fulfillment Services Segment accounts for upfront service fees and application of proportional performance revenue recognition for its service elements. Revenues for the Segment are earned based on the volume of transactions processed for customers. For the Staff’s convenience, a marked draft of the Company’s proposed disclosure to be included in future filings follows:

 

E-Commerce and Fulfillment Services Segment. Revenue for the E-Commerce and Fulfillment Services Segment is recognized based on terms of service within the customer contract with the customer. A portion of the Company’s service revenue arrangements includes upfront service elements, such as web implementation and migration, and recurring service elements such as web site support, e-commerce fulfillment services and additional services. The Company does not earn or receive any commissions from its customers for these services. Fees related to Uupfront contract services, fees such as web site implementation and migration, are deferred and recognized ratably over the expected term of the relationship with the customer term of the arrangement, generally three years, beginning when delivery of recurring services has occurred. Costs associated with the upfront contract fees are deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the arrangement consistent with the recognition of revenues. Recurring contract service elements are charged based on the number of transactions processed and recognized as the services are performed as measured by the volume of orders completed Each contract is typically accounted for as one unit of accounting.

 

With regard to upfront contract service fees, the Company has not completed nor amortized any revenue related to upfront contract fees from the date of acquisition of SpeedFC (November 2012) through June 30, 2013; prior to such acquisition, the Company did not have any upfront contract service fees. Commencing in the quarter ending September 30, 2013, the Company will amortize the deferred revenues over the expected term of its relationship with each customer.

 

Note 8. Inventories, page 96

 

 

3.

Does the Company earn commissions for managing and distributing inventory for its E-Commerce customers? If so, clarify the nature of inventory managed and disclose the Company’s policy for accounting for commissions.

 

Response: The Company does not hold any inventory in its E-Commerce and Fulfillment Services Segment. The Company will expand its disclosure in future filings within the discussion of revenue recognition policies to state that it does not earn commissions for handling E-Commerce and Fulfillment Services Segment inventory and that revenues are charged based on the number of transactions processed.
