Q: What is MICROS revenue recognition policy?
A: Revenue from hardware sales is recognized at the time of shipment with a provision for estimated returns and allowances. Revenue from licensed software sales is recognized in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions.” If a third party can install the software, revenue is recognized when shipped, with an appropriate deferral for any undelivered software contract elements. However, if MICROS is the sole party that has the proprietary knowledge to install the software, revenue is recognized upon installation and when ready to go live, with an appropriate deferral for any undelivered software contract elements. This deferral is earned when significant obligations no longer exist. Revenue from customer-specific development work is recognized under the completed contract method. Service contract revenue is initially recorded as deferred service revenue and is recognized on a pro rata basis over the contract term. Revenue from the installation of the product and the training of customers’ staff is recognized as the work is performed.
