7. REVENUE AND VENDOR CONCENTRATIONS

Revenue Concentration

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, the Company derived revenue of approximately $3,788,000 from three customers, with such customers accounting for 15%, 15% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue, compared to revenue of approximately $3,385,000 from two customers, with such customers accounting for 22% and 11%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. The corresponding accounts receivable balances of customers from which revenues were in excess of 10% of total revenue were approximately $675,000 and $840,000 at September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from the sale by the Company to channel partners, including systems integrators and resellers, and end-users of licenses to sell software products covered by the Company’s patented technologies. These contractual arrangements do not obligate the Company’s channel partners to order, purchase or distribute any fixed or minimum quantities of the Company’s products. In most cases, the channel partners purchase the software license from the Company after they receive an order from an end-user. The channel partners receive orders from various individual end-users; therefore, the sale of a software license to a channel partner may represent sales to multiple end-users. End-users can purchase the Company’s products through more than one channel partner.

Revenues can fluctuate based on the timing of software license renewals by channel partners. When a channel partner purchases or renews a software license, the Company receives a license fee in consideration for the grant of a license to sell the Company’s software products and there are no future payment obligations related to such agreement; therefore the license fee the Company receives with respect to a particular license renewal in one period does not have a correlation with revenue in future periods. During the last few years, sales of software licenses to channel partners have comprised a significant part of the Company’s revenue. This is attributable to the timing of when a particular channel partner purchases or renews a software license from the Company and does not represent a dependence on any single channel partner. The Company believes that it is not dependent upon any single channel partner, even those from which revenues were in excess of 10% of the Company’s total revenue in a specific reporting period, and that the loss or termination of the Company’s relationship with any such channel partner would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future operations because either the Company or another channel partner could sell the Company’s previously purchased products.

International sales accounted for approximately 5% and 12% of the Company’s total revenue for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company sells its products in U.S. currency only.

Vendor Concentration

The Company purchases its integrated software components from multiple third-party software providers at competitive prices. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, the Company did not make purchases from any one vendor comprising 10% or more of the Company’s total purchases. The Company made purchases from one vendor that comprised approximately 13% of the Company’s total purchases for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. The Company has entered into contractual relationships with some of its vendors; however, the Company does not believe it is substantially dependent upon nor exposed to any significant concentration risk related to purchases from any of its vendors, given the availability of alternative sources for its necessary integrated software components.
