Revenue Recognition (Current 10Q) Accounting for revenue recognition is complex and affected by interpretations of guidance provided by several sources, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). This guidance is subject to change. We follow the guidance established by the SEC in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, as well as generally accepted criteria for revenue recognition, which require that, before revenue is recorded, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured, and delivery to our customer has occurred. Applying these criteria to certain of our revenue arrangements requires us to carefully analyze the terms and conditions of our license agreements. Revenue from our technology license agreements is generally recognized at the time we enter into a contract and provide our customer with the licensed technology. We believe that this is the point at which we have performed all of our obligations under the agreement; however, this remains a highly interpretive area of accounting and future license agreements may result in a different method of revenue recognition. Fees for maintenance or support of our licenses are recorded on a straight-line basis over the underlying period of performance. Revenue Recognition (Prior 10Q)We recognize revenue from the sale of our product upon shipment to the customer, at which time title transfers and we have no further obligations. Fees for maintenance or support are recorded on a straight-line basis over the underlying period of performance. Revenue from technology license agreements is recognized at the time we enter into a contract and provide the customer with the licensed technology. At this point, we have performed all of our obligations under contract, the rights to our technology have been transferred and no significant performance obligations remain. What are they trying to tell us here? It would appear that how PTSC interprets these guidelines is not so straight forward anymore. Hmmmmm Opty
